2.- Do I Have to Come to Your Office for a Consultation or to Hire You as my Attorneys?

No, you do not have to come to our office. We are scheduling telephone and online appointments using Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype, meaning we can meet virtually with you while you remain at home. We use these technologies to provide you a free consultation for your personal injury, workers's comp, and social security disability case and to talk to you about your employment law or Veterans' law case. We can securely email documents that are ready for electronic signatures, so it's not necessary to come to our office to hire us as your attorneys.

Each case is different, so not all information on this website, as well as some which may not be provided, will apply to every case. Because the facts and relevant laws are different from case to case, Grimes Teich Anderson does not guarantee that the outcome, results or experiences with one lawyer or one case will be similar to another.

Except for Employment Law Cases, Attorney’s fees are a percentage of the entire recovery and will be deducted before other expenses. In addition to the fee in these cases, Client will be responsible for litigation expenses, which will either be deducted from the recovery or paid by the client. Some Employment Law Cases may be handled on a contingent fee basis and others handled on an hourly basis, where the client is billed for the hours spent on the case. Based on our experience, we will advise you of the most appropriate fee arrangement in Employment Law cases.
